Driving distances and the reality

All joking aside, the figures for women are nonsense which doesn't reflect well on Arccos as their data is clearly garbage. Could definitely have done with some sanity checking before publishing this. I mean, there's not a scratch golfer on the planet averaging 164 yards off the tee. I don't care how good your short game is, if you're struggling to reach 300 yard par 4s in regulation and hitting driver on mid-length par 3s you're not shooting level par very often! And, if that's the average that means there are supposedly some not even managing that!

The most charitable spin I can put on it is that there probably aren't that many scratch handicap 60 year old women using Arccos so the dataset is possibly too small to be meaningful but I'd say the figures are way too low at every age point shown.

Can't comment on the men's but I expect they'll have a significantly bigger dataset. Any scratch guys on here or who someone plays with a lot of scratch men - how realistic do those numbers look?
